principles of planning for residential and public building.


#)Principles of planning for residential and public building.

  •   Types of principles:-
  1. Aspect
  2. Prospect
  3. Orientation
  4. Privacy
  5. Circulation
  6. Grouping
  7. Roominess
  8. Furniture requirements
  9. Sanitation
  10. Elegance
  11. Economy
  12. Access
  13. Architectural composition
  14. Climate effect
1)Aspect:-
     Aspect is defined as the positioning of windows and doors in the external walls to take maximum advantage of natural gift such as sunlight and wind or breeze.

2) prospect:-
     Prospect means taking advantage of desirable view available from window ,door and balconies, of featured outside the building such as gardens ,lake, sea, river ,hill,etc.

3) orientation:-
  Orientation means the placement of rooms with reference to the north direction.
  The same plan can be placed on the plot in various ways to give different orientation.

4) privacy :-
    There are two principles of privacy
          A) External privacy.
          B) Internal privacy.
  A) External privacy
      This means privacy of the entire building from surrounding buildings.
   Privacy from noise and pollution from road .also privacy from congestion due to crowding of building.
 
  B) Internal privacy.
      This means that prevention of direct view inside any room from any other room or from passage.
     Proper placement of the door ensure the internal privacy.

 5) Circulation :-
   Circulation refers to movement from one place to other inside the building.
   The door must be arranged in such a way that minimum space is wasted in circulation.
    The wastage of space also depends on which side the door is hinged.

    Types of circulation:-
          A) horizontal circulation
          B) vertical circulation


6) Grouping:-
    This means planning rooms with same or similar function together as a group.
  This principle is more applicable in public building.

7) Roominess:-
   A psychological feeling about bigness or smallness of space ,e.g.of a room ,is called roominess.
     It is common observation that a square room appears smaller than a rectangular room of exactly the same area.

8)  Elegance :-
   it refers to the elevation of building .
   The front elevation of the building must be aesthetical pleasing and elegant.

Penetration test - Test on bitumen.

Crude petroleum obtained from different source contains different portion of different constituents.  Hence, it's properties may differ.  Therefore, to judge their suitability as binders following tests are required. :-  1) Penetration test . * 2) Ductility test.*  3) Softening test.*  4) Viscosity test.*  5) Float test.  6) Specifically gravity test.  7) Flash and fire point test.  8) Spot test.  9) Loss on heating test.  10) Water content test.  1) penetration test ( viscosity test on bitumen)  An indirect measure of viscosity is tie the amount of penetration of a standard needle under standard  conditions, of load time and temperature.  The test measure the hardness or softness of bitumen   in terms of 10mm of the standard needle.                  Fig. Penetrometer apparatus Standard conditions for penetration test:- a) Temperature :- 25° ( t...

Timbering and strutting trench - Civil engineering. Com

Timbering and strutting : - Timbering and strutting is a method of giving the temporary support to the side of trench, when the depth of trench is large or when the sub soil is loose.  - Timbering is also called shoring.  - It consist of timber board and strut to give temporary support to the side of the trench. - A method of giving the temporary support to the side of deep trench or when sub soil is loose or very soft is known as timbering.  - It consist of timber planks and strut to give temporary support to the side of trench. It helps to reduce width of foundation.  Following are the methods of timbering and strutting :- Box sheeting  Stay bracing  Runner system  Vertical sheeting  Sheet piling 1) Box sheeting :- If depth of the excavation is up to 4.0 M and if soil is loose, the box sheeting method is commonly employed into the the practice.  Fig. 1 Box sheeting It is just like box, ...

Foam concrete (light weight cellular concrete).

Foam concrete(LCC):-   Foam concrete is also known as light weight cellular concrete (LCC), low density cellular concrete(LDCC). Foam concrete Define:-  a cement based slurry with minimum of 20%(per volume) Foam entrained into plastic mortor.     As mostly no coarse agreegate is used to production of foam concrete the correct term would be called mortor instead of concrete it may be called foamed cement.   HISTORY OF FOAMED CONCRETE:- The foamed concrete has a long history and it was first made into use in the year 1923. It was initially used as an insulating material. Improvements throughout the past 20 years in the areas of production equipment and better quality foam making agents make the use of foam concrete in large scale.   A detailed study concerning the composition , physical properties and production of foamed concrete was first carried out in the 1950s and 60s    Following the reasearch new admixtures were devloped in ...
